In all honesty, I thought I’d finished it a few weeks ago when I last posted onto the blog. But then I’ve been doing some digging around in the code finding all kinds of weird and wonderful bug-ettes. Daft things like deleting the default Windows folder for Word templates but leaving the Mac one behind. […]

The add-in is being prepared ready for the next full release. Which means webpage edits and screenshot changes galore as I’ve moved from Office 2013 as my main development tool to Office 2016. If you’ve tried any of the beta versions out, you will have noticed that the screenshots in the manual are now based […]

This is just an interim beta release as I’ve fixed a few bits here and there, but I’m still not sure whether I like how the add-in is handling endnotes and footnotes. I’ve added the detection of Whole Document / Selection to the form so that if you only want to amend endnotes/footnotes in a […]

I’m getting there (honest), but it’s a slow plod as each new idea I come up with to add to the code, either doesn’t work quite as I’d hoped it would, or isn’t much better than what’s Word already has built-in. Just my routines are easier to find 🙂 Here’s the endnotes inspection tool: And, […]

I’ve been shaving off a few bytes here and a few bytes there. This has entailed all kinds of VBA jiggery-pokery: changing Public vars into Private/Local vars, creating more code here and there – just so that I can delete the multiple existences of it elsewhere and all other kinds of tweaks. But then I […]

Shortly after the full version of v1.87 was released, a regular user pointed out a few anomalies in my Section Inspector tool. After a few beta-versions were sent back and forth, and a complete overhaul of how the Section Inspector form layout looked, I now felt much happier with it. Some of the tweaks were […]

I was hoping to get this version out nearer to my 46th birthday, but c’est la vie. Officially I will release this tomorrow via a LinkedIn post, but for those of you reading this on Twitter, you can grab a copy – a day early 🙂 This version has lots of new features and quite […]

The ability to easily replace style x with style y has been on my To Do list (on my Trello board) since June of 2015. After some screen estate jiggery-pokery, I made some room for the function on the Styles tab within the main Toolbox. The Total label and field have been removed from Styles, […]

I’ve finally had some spare time in work to get the final touches done to the Fields Inspector. The old ‘Fix Fields’ routine from the toolbar has been retired. All of the 90+ possible types of field are examined and listed in the box. From here you can unlink, delete or unlock them, along with […]
